In Attendance: Clerk Mrs B Wise, PCSO Karen Green & DC Cllr Lomax. 16/09/90 Apologies for Absence Apologies for absence were received from Cllrs Mrs A Bramah, G Hewitt, Mrs J Pettitt and Mrs C Rofer. Also noted apologies from HPB Councillors Caroline Howe & John Kappes. 16/09/91 Registration/ Declaration of Members Interests - None 16/09/92 Community Police PCSO Karen Green reported that the crime statistics information is not being updated as previously, but some information is available on the website in a different form. However Chinley had again been relatively quite, but she did warn to be vigilant regarding security as the area was again being targetted for theft from vehicles ( 6 per night) and non-dwellings. These had so far been mainly in Chapel, but also included Brittannia Mill and the latest incident being investigated was a non dwelling break-in on Maynestone Road, Chinley and a further one in New Mills. A current concern in the area was the increased litter problem. Chapel was sharing with Chinley in suffering from this anti social behaviour and she had patrolled with the Chapel clerk in the park and youth centre to address this issue with the mainly young people responsible. Derbyshire Alert is now more centralised and Chapel & Chinley Neighbourhood Watch facebook carries more local information. 16/09/93 County Councillor Derbyshire County Councillor Lomax reported that the latest scam to be aware of was one demanding bank details for payment to avoid baliffs entering. He said he would chase the litter collection problem with Derbyshire County Council. 16/09/94 Borough Councillors - None 16/09/95 Open Forum – None 22nd September 2016 (Unapproved) 892 16/09/96 Minutes of the Parish Council Meeting held on 23rd June 2016. The meeting noted that the minutes, signed at the August meeting, of the Parish Council meeting held in June 2016 had identical numbers to those of the May meeting.

It was noted, with reference to minute 16/08/84, that the annual visual tree survey had been carried out as resolved. Cllr Wilson will report in full to the October meeting but it had been explained to Mr Derek Hallam that, as the trees on Squirrel Green are in the Conservation Area, the Parish Council would need to contact the Borough Council Arboriculture Officer, Monica Gillespie for approval to remove the couple of branches causing problems with his braodband phone wires. 16/09/98 Chair’s Progress Report Cllr Walton advised the meeting that the focus for the previous month had been Buxworth Allotments, for which an item for report on progress was included on the agenda.

The biggest issue had been whether a Community Hall or Sports Hall was being provided. Grant Aid and Lottery funding were being explored regarding meeting requirements for the £750K/£800 maximum. Mike Davies is working on funding for the architect and also starting serious conversations about applications for funding. Land ownership issues and the whole or part interest the Community Association need to get the funding is being dealt with by Cllr Martin Thomas. 16/09/102 Buxworth Allotments The meeting received non-compliance correspondence relating to the planning permission HPK/2015/0174 – Buxworth Allotments Car Park, granted to the Parish Council. It was understood to indicate that High Peak Borough Council would not be pursuing this issue further and agreed that the outstanding balance of the contractor’s account can now be paid. A very successful meeting had been held at Buxworth Memorial Club to discuss management/administration issues etc. Two representatives from Chinley Allotments Association had attended to share their knowledge and experience and a willing volunteer had agreed to take the lead on establishing a Buxworth Allotments Association, with the assistance of the four other persons from the allotment tenant’s waiting list who attended the meeting.

It was agreed that the position suggested was not suitable and the only reasonable position had been identified as being between the seating area and ‘squirrel post’ a few feet away from the remaining cherry tree than its original partner had been. RESOLVED: To approve planting of an ornamental cherry tree by the friends of Suzanne Lakei and to provide a plan detailing the exact position for this. 16/09/108 Planning Applications The following planning applications were received and comments approved: 1.

  • £137 Million Investment to Upgrade the Hope Valley Line
    £137 million investment to upgrade the Hope Valley line March 11, 2021 HS2 Minister Andrew Stephenson has announced government funding to upgrade the Hope Valley train line – a train line between Manchester and Sheffield. He made the announcement on Thursday in the House of Commons. He said: “The government is committed to levelling up rail infrastructure across the north, and in that spirit I am delighted to confirm that we have awarded £137 million to Network Rail to complete detailed designs and deliver the Hope Valley capacity scheme. “This scheme will transform journeys between the Northern Powerhouse cities of Manchester and Sheffield by removing bottlenecks on the Hope Valley line. “I pay tribute to the member for High Peak, who has campaigned relentlessly for this scheme and has helped get it over the line.” In response High Peak MP Robert Largan Tweeted: “£137 million Hope Valley line upgrade approved. We’ve done it. I’m absolutely delighted the Government have just approved the upgrade to the Manchester-Sheffield line, which serves New Mills, Chinley, Edale, Hope & Bamford. This is a huge win for High Peak and the North.” To help meet future demand, the Hope Valley capacity scheme is designed to removed bottlenecks on the line by creating places for fast passenger services to overtake slower moving freight trains, allowing more trains to run and increasing the reliability of services. Network Rail is now finalising detailed designs that will improve sections of the railway between Bamford station and Jaggers Lane Bridge in Hathersage, and around Dore & Totley station where a second platform will also be added.

  • Source: Thanks to Chinley, Buxworth and Brownside Parish Council
    The parish of Chinley, Buxworth and Brownside is located at the western edge of the Dark Peak landscape area of the Peak District National Park. In terms of area, approximately half of the parish is within the National Park, although it is worth noting the majority of development and population of the parish are outside of the National Park boundary. Chinley and Buxworth are the main settlements which are located to the north of the A6 road, outside the National Park. Historically, Chinley was a Anglo-Saxon settlement of scattered farmsteads. During the 17th century the local area was mined and quarried and consequently Chinley’s population grew. These local industries developed further following the building of the Peak Forest Canal and tramway in 1799 and again when the railway came in 1866. The addition of a passenger line in 1894 saw further population growth. However, the closures of the mines and quarry in the early 20th century saw the population decline. It declined further following WWII when the passenger service was reduced, however in recent years there has been a significant amount of new housing development in proximity of the parish and the area has become a very popular commuting area. Further development is also anticipated soon. New businesses have opened recently in the food and beverage, accommodation and childcare sectors. The area is a popular walking, cycling and horse-riding area with the Peak Forest Tramway Trail and Bugsworth Basin also popular attractions. Source: thanks to Chinley, Buxworth and Brownside Parish Council The parish straddles three landscape character areas within the Dark Peak; valley pastures with industry, enclosed gritstone upland and moorland hills and ridge as described in the Landscape Strategy (LSAP 2009).
